Joy v. Daniels

United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit
479 F.2d 1236 (1973)

Facts

Joseph Paul Apartments, Inc. (Joseph Paul) (defendant) owned an apartment building in South Carolina (the state government) that was rented to low-income individuals. Joseph Paul received federal funding for its building. However, before obtaining these funds, Joseph Paul was required to obtain approval from the state government. Thelma Joy (plaintiff) rented an apartment from Joseph Paul. After Joy’s lease expired, Joseph Paul sought to evict Joy using the eviction procedures established by the state government. Subsequently, Joy filed suit against Joseph Paul, contending that the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution barred Joseph Paul from evicting her due to the expiration of her lease. The district court ruled that the expiration of Joy’s lease was sufficient grounds for Joseph Paul to evict Joy. Joy appealed.
